    @Brodka: regrettably: It already has. VGChartz pegs FIFA 10's PS3 Japanese sales at 26,770 units over two weeks. I'd be disgusted if I didn't enjoy the irony as NFL2K found itself in a similar situation with Madden with all the reviews saying it was superior yet Madden getting all of the sales. #thejapanesesoftwarechart

    It would be interesting how Bayonetta, Tekken 6, and Four Warriors of Light: Final Fantasy Gaiden will rank in next week's Media Create software chart. All three games debuted with strong sales and may quickly reach 100K by the end of Saturday.

    21. Tales of Vesperia (PS3)

    It had crazy first-week sales, but the sales dropped off (As they all do).

    Now, Love Plus is enjoying more sales per week than Vesperia, and Love Plus came out two weeks before Vesperia did. #thejapanesesoftwarechart

    I know that the 360 install base isn't huge in Japan, but it IS over a million. With the reviews that this game got and supposed love for sim racers (look at GT sales), the relatively low sales for FM3 is evidence of a larger issue with the Japanese gaming public. Shame. #thejapanesesoftwarechart

    Didn't think Uncharted 2 would be popular there.

    @darkos5318008: We have different definitions of what constitutes popular. 50,000 in the first week is "niche" to me.

    @kNZA: google-fu tells me it is an adventure game, sequel to Chaos: Head Noah that was released also on X360 in February. Present time setting, Otaku main character, mystery/murder/communication devices, schoolgirls. The first one took place in Shibuya, this one in Akihabara. It is tied to some anime, but instead of retelling the story, it sheds light on some dark area of the original plot. Also the first one was a CERO Z (18+) and this one a CERO C (15+). The first game sold a total of about 40,000 units.

    So now you know! (at least a little more). #thejapanesesoftwarechart
